Point taken.   I guess that changes the addon mappings to:

LinearAlgrebra2  --> numarray.linear_algebra
FFT2             --> numarray.fft
RandomArray2     --> numarray.random_array
Convolve         --> numarray.convolve
Convolve.Image   --> numarray.image
MA2              --> numarray.ma

or changes everything to:

numarray       --> Numarray.Numeric
recarray       --> Numarray.Records
chararray      --> Numarray.Strings
ndarray        --> Numarray.Generic
*              --> Numarray.*

LinearAlgrebra2  --> Numarray.LinearAlgebra
FFT2             --> Numarray.FFT
RandomArray2     --> Numarray.RandomArray
Convolve         --> Numarray.Convolve
Convolve.Image   --> Numarray.Image
MA2              --> Numarray.MA

I have no preference myself (obviously!).   Lower case and underscores 
may be more in line with our group's style.
